Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a glass, flask-like vessel with a round, globular body and a narrower, cylindrical neck emerging from its center. The neck ends with a thick, flattened rim at the bottle's opening. The vessel is almost symmetrical save for a slightly tilt seen in the rim when viewed from the side. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
